The Little Big Things musical tops iTunes soundtrack charts in first week of release

New British musical The Little Big Things has topped the iTunes soundtrack charts days after its album release.

The piece, penned by Nick Butcher, Tom Ling and Joe White, is based on the best-selling memoir by Henry Fraser, who became almost entirely paralysed during an accident. It received a stellar five-star write-up from WhatsOnStage earlier this month.

The show is playing a limited season until 2 March 2024 at new venue @sohoplace. Late last year it was nominated for four WhatsOnStage Awards including Best New Musical.

Butcher said today: “We’re delighted with the overwhelming response to The Little Big Things (Original West End Cast Recording) and that our loyal and new audiences have catapulted it straight to the top of the iTunes soundtrack charts on its debut weekend. We have listeners from America to Australia and are thrilled Henry’s incredible story continues to be told worldwide.”
